Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 14,1913.

Application filed May 28, 1910. Serial No. 563,977.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MARGRITH BAUMANN, a citizen of the Republic of Switzerland, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county. and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in I-Iair-Tonics; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in hair tonics, and my object is to provide a preparation of this class-t0 be used in promoting the growth of new hair and also for strengthening the hair and prolonging the life thereof and preventing the growth of dandrufi, thus preventing premature baldness.

The compound consists of the following ingredients preferably but not necessarily, combined in about the proportions stated, viz: 1 pint of water, 1 gallon of white wine, 2-1; pounds of the root of the fern bot-anically known as Dryoptem's feZiw-mas, 1 quart of alcohol.

In preparing the compound the root of the fern and white wine are boiled together until reduced by evaporation to one half gallon. The preparation is then strained and the water and the alcohol are then added to the decoction. Any perfume may be added which will impart an agreeable odor to the compound.

The preparation, when applied to the hair and scalp will stimulate the growth of new hair and preserve the hair by strengthening its roots. The mixture is applied to the scalp and hair of the head in the usual or any preferred manner, once daily, and if mixed in the proportions I have above described, about one teaspoonful is to be used on each application.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. A hair tonic consisting of a decoction of the root of the fern Dryo tom's folio-mas, the residue of white wine le t after evaporation of the alcohol by boiling, alcohol and water.

2. A hair tonic, consisting of a decoction of the root of the fern Dryoptem's felz'w-mas, the residue of white wine left after evaporation of the alcohol by boiling, and any liquid which will act as a preservative to the compound and not be harmful to the hair or scalp.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and afiixed my signature this 26th day of May, 1910. I

MARGRITH BAUMANN.

In presence of J. FRANK PHILLIPS, JOSEPH DAY LEE.
